This seems to be a different one from the one I saw last year. It's funny because my grandmother called to tell me it was on, then 2 more people after that called me to tell me it was on. LOL

I wonder if people think I'm a Styx fan or something?

I wish Dennis could find his way to Houston Public Television. :? I am getting pretty sick of repeated and repeated (ad infinitum) of Celtic Women, and Doo Wop, and Roy Orbison, etc. etc. Yeesh! :roll:

BTW, it is nice to know that he is still doing the studio thing for the PBS station fund raisers. About 2 or 3 years ago he had raised nearly $2 million for public TV stations around the country.

Good ol' Grandma, Zan! :D

Yeah what ever happened to the good old days of Public Broadcasting? I grew up watching Monty Python and Fawlty Towers and great educational shows like that on PBS.

Well, actually, I wasn't talking about their regular programming. Just the fund-raising stuff. My local PBS needs a bit more imagination in that regard.

They still have some amazing programming on there. "The War" was magnificent.

Zan, I didn't know you were a grandma. Since you and Dennis are about the same age, you have held up much better.

The comma after "grandma" is there for a reason. :roll: And, btw, the one who is Dennis' age is me. :P

Yeah FT was the best, perfect cast. Can't you just hear Sybil Faulty screaming at the top of her lungs, "BASIL, BASIL, BASIL". I remember the end of one show he threw himself into the back of the dirty laundry truck and let them carry him off. Manuel was funny too.
